SAVANTISM.
THITHER as I look I see each result and glory retracing itself and
nestling close, always obligated,
|
Thither hours, months, years—thither trades, compacts, establish-
ments, even the most minute,
|
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, persons, estates; |
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful, admirant, |
As a father to his father going takes his children along with him. |
